World War starts in 1940 and is still raging 20 years later when a new government run by scientists and engineers finally forces peace on the people of Earth. Not to stop all the killing, not to provide a better life for the common man, but simply so that the privileged can work in peace and quiet. Elitist horror dressed up as science fiction, written by none other than H. G. Wells, based on his book The Shape of Things to Come. Wells' vapid characters and stilted dialogue don't help. With, however, some nice special effects and visual design, and a dark-haired woman (Sophie Stewart) who comes on the screen dressed half like a dominatrix and half like a harem girl, who says, "I don't suppose any man has ever understood any woman since the beginning of things." Well, hell, girl, you're a walking contradiction; what do you expect?
